I chuckled once today, I think that counts.

I made a boneheaded mistake on the fourth stage & timed out. When the match was over I reshot the stage to prove to myself what I had done & I finished the stage with rds left in my only mag. Yep, i f*ed up proper on the clock when I shot the 200.

Sometimes you just have to fail on full to learn to never make same mistake again. Hope that's true in this case.

Matches are great at pointing out our failures in mind and equipment.
Failure is good as long as you learn from it. Preferably from the failure of others.
Keep at it.

Well wierd day. SAT for the kid so drove him down and used the time to finish drawing up what my sprinklers look like in the back yard. There is 19 rotary sprinklers for a 60x30 ovalish yard. Two are in the center, the rest are around the periphery. With a min throw distance of 15ft, thats a shit ton of overlap. Trying to figure out how to make them work without flooding the lower part. Must have been paid by the sprinkler....
Still recovering from nasty knock me on my ass cold. Sucks, I aint got time for this.
Since I could not do much else I geeked out on the RasPi, got the wifi working thanks to the help of more seasoned folks. Like black magic to install drivers and such. But its working, so onwards to add a camera and then motor control.

Erni, if you'd like me to look at your coverage & zones, I'd be happy to give you my 2 cents.

Do the rotary sprinklers throw a further distance than the plain old pop up mini sprayers? When we did our yard we were told to plan for 12' distances because water pressure was only gonna drop as the neighborhood built up

Yeah this was definitely my bad. I knew/know better. Even more frustrating that it didn't occur to me during/after the first 5 shots or I could have salvaged the string no problem.

It doesnt really matter but I was in the top 20 after the first 3 stages. Would have done even better if I hadn't humped it on the one stage that should have been my best on any other day.

I'm really more disappointed in myself than the final score though. Next time.

The win for today is understanding the role of experience & it's effect on ability to demonstrate skill.

So now I have the experience to apply to future endeavors.

Without looking it up, if I say the "Chunnel," do you know to what I'm referring?

The train?
